Adaptations

Adaptations to an Environment Every organism has a variety of adaptations that are suited to its specific living conditions An adaptation is a trait that an organism has inherited that helps it survive and reproduce in their habitat Ex. Sharks sense of smell, shape of a bird’s beak, dogs can hear well, flowers have bright colors Physical adaptations do not develop during one lifetime, but over many generations Genes that help determine survival are passed from parent to offspring

How many traits can you find that are adaptations to this environment?

Adaptations Over Time Natural selection is the process by which individuals who are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species.

Charles Darwin/Finches Galapagos Islands Charles Darwin- English scientist who proposed the theory of natural selection in 1859. Sailed on the Beagle to South America for research Studied tortoises, finches, lizards, and other animals on the islands.

Animals of Galapagos Islands Finches- beaks are adapted for different feeding behaviors Ex: insects, seeds, fruit Iguanas- able to dive underwater to eat algae, sharp claws to cling to rocks, expel salt by sneezing Tortoises- shell shape depends on island environment

Causes for Adaptations Among Species: Inheriting traits/variations that have advantages for survival or reproduction Overpopulation/competition Environment/Climate

Variations Variations are different ways that a trait can express itself Some variations make individuals better fit for survival from predators allowing them to reproduce and pass the favorable trait to their offspring Ex. Variations among turtles make some of them better able to survive. Turtles that survive to become adults will be able to reproduce.

Variations

Natural Selection by Environment Variations can also allow organisms to become better adapted to survive in a particular climate. Organisms expressing traits that allow them to survive & reproduce in a particular environment will become the dominant life within the environment.
